Chapter 50 - Questions from the Administration
Chapter 50 - Questions from the Administration
When Chonglin was about to turn hostile, Duan Yunhong called the guards and carried him out directly.
"You... aren't you afraid of being punished?" Chong Lin didn't dare to say too much in front of the "locals". Even though he was furious, he only dared to shout some vague words, "You dare to violate the agreement between us, you will be punished!"
Duan Yunhong poked the fire with the stick in his hand. Although it was still daytime, the flames were burning brightly. Duan Yunhong stood in front of the flames, turned his head to look at Chonglin, and sneered: "Then go and file a complaint."
Chong Lin said angrily: "I will definitely sue you! You will definitely regret it!"
He was so angry and anxious that he had no time to think deeply. He could only remember that the Administration was able to supervise most of the "extraordinary contracts" and enforce penalties on those who violated the regulations.
After all, all kinds of power exist in this vast world. Sometimes debt collectors encounter an extremely powerful opponent and can apply for the Administration to act as a third-party supervisor when signing a contract. Even if it is an agreement that is “verbally confirmed”, the Administration can supervise it as long as both parties agree to it at the time. And the more powerful the contracting party, the more likely the authority is to agree to regulate. Therefore, some ordinary people, or those with less extraordinary abilities, are more likely to go back on their word to debt collectors. The Administration doesn't care about this kind of reneging. If the debt collector can't even handle this, then why should they collect debts?
In addition, because the Administration has a large number of people under its name, when supervising a contract, the Bureau usually does not care whether the contract violates public order and good morals - in so many worlds, the laws and moral standards may be very different - as long as both parties confirm the treaty to be implemented, if someone violates it, it is considered a breach of contract.
As long as you breach the contract, the Administration will ruthlessly punish you: forcibly deduct a large amount of luck.
Even if the person with whom the contract is signed is a "lucky bandit", he will still be punished. After all, this title is just an alias given by the Administration. When confirming the contract, the Administration will not sit idle and investigate one by one - unless this person has been included in the Bureau's notice. Therefore, when Chonglin and Duan Yunhong made the agreement, he only said "he would bring the person designated by Duan Yunhong", and then he did not worry at all that this contract would be disadvantageous to him.
At this moment, Chong Lin, who was thrown out of the general's mansion, was still thinking about how he must see Duan Yunhong's next miserable state.
——Even if you are a "lucky bandit", your luck will still be seriously affected if you are fined and your luck is deducted, right?
Chonglin thought that Duan Yunhong seemed to like to exchange his luck for enjoying life, and he might not have accumulated much "savings". As long as the Administration imposes mandatory punishment and he finds a way to flatter him in front of the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister, he will definitely be extremely unlucky in this world! No matter who you are, if you are unlucky, you may even die!
Chonglin thought so and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in anger. He had no ability to confront Duan Yunhong head-on, so he could only apply to the Administration to determine that the other party had breached the contract, and then exaggerated the complaint to the Prime Minister, saying that the General of Cavalry was "arrogant and disrespectful to the Crown Prince", and then waited for Duan Yunhong to get into trouble.
However, just as he was still immersed in his fantasy of revenge, the Administration's injunction against him came first.
[Debt collector Chong Lin, you have been reported for colluding with the "Qiyun Bandits" and intentionally harming our staff. Our bureau has preliminarily verified that the content of the report is true, and we are now initiating a compulsory summons against you. 】
[From now on, within 24 hours in the current world, if you fail to complete this debt collection task, it will be directly deemed as a mission failure and you will return to this bureau to cooperate with the investigation. Please be prepared. 】
After hearing this cold report, how could Chong Lin not guess who reported him?
“…Ning Fei!!!”
***
Ning Fei reported more than just Chonglin.
He first reported Duan Yunhong as a "lucky bandit" and then further reported Chong Lin. As long as Duan Yunhong's identity is confirmed, the "verbal agreement" under the supervision of the Administration will become evidence of Chonglin's collusion with outsiders and betrayal of his colleagues.
The logic is actually very simple, and the possibility of exposure seems quite high. The reason why Chonglin dared to agree to Duan Yunhong was not only because of his hatred for Ning Fei, but also because he judged that Duan Yunhong would not tell Ning Fei the truth. After all, Duan Yunhong had already stated that he wanted to "retaliate against Ning Fei", and the two parties had agreed to keep the cooperation matters confidential. Chong Lin even confirmed with Duan Yunhong five times whether he had said it or not. Chonglin relied on the supervision of the administration "hanging high" on the contract, believing that Duan Yunhong would not have nothing better to do and tell about this matter.
But Duan Yunhong said it.
He has already directly refused to pay, is he still afraid of breaking the confidentiality agreement?
Chong Lin believes that the supervision of the Administration is the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over Duan Yunhong's head. It can only be said that his understanding is correct, but not entirely correct. To put it bluntly, the administration's punishment is also a kind of force attacking a certain target. However, even though this force is strong, it has its limits. Some bandits cannot withstand it, and their own accumulation is insufficient. Once they are attacked, their luck will be completely drained, so they naturally try to avoid it. Some bandits have deep accumulation and can find ways to resolve it. It is easy to recover if they are not hurt. There are also a very small number of people who can even directly resist the force of the administration to forcibly drain away their luck, just like they can block that terrible "water pipe" outside and get through it smoothly.
In short, the punishment from the Administration may not be as fatal as Chonglin thought, nor may it be as "meaningless" as Duan Yunhong said. How effective it is depends on the level of the person being punished. Even though they are all "lucky bandits", there are differences between them.
However, the reputation that the Administration has established within the organization is too great, and any incident that could embarrass the Administration is, of course, a secret. Chonglin only knew one side of the story and not the other, and blindly believed in the intimidation ability of the Administration, which led to him suffering a great loss at the hands of Duan Yunhong.
The fundamental reason why he suffered this loss was to trick Ning Fei. Therefore, during the investigation by the Administration, even if he was hammered as hard as he could be, Chong Lin still wanted to bite back: "Ning Fei must have colluded with Duan Yunhong!"
Ning Fei was listening online as a witness, and he laughed as if he was listening to a joke.
He didn't have to refute it immediately, because the main system of the Administration replied to Chong Lin coldly: "Please submit your evidence."
Where is Chonglin's evidence? He could only start to imagine: "He... He stayed in Duan Yunhong's general's mansion for seven days. He had many opportunities to communicate with Duan Yunhong. He could have colluded with him to frame me! I met him once during the trip. He had no injuries at all and was in good spirits. He was accompanied by guards arranged by Duan Yunhong. They must have a good relationship!"
The more Chong Lin spoke, the more he felt that he had found the right idea, and by the end he even began to believe it. Yes, if Duan Yunhong wanted to take revenge on Ning Fei, why didn’t he torture him after tying him up, but let him out to chat with his colleagues and time travelers?
However, the main system responded: "Regarding the seven-day period you mentioned, Ning Fei has already used the 'kidnap period' as evidence of being harmed by Duan Yunhong in revenge. This bureau believes that the world did not experience abnormal fluctuations during that period, and that the world was operating normally. Therefore, no additional verification will be conducted, and this evidence will not be recognized. Now that you have submitted an application for verification of the same period and the same object, according to the relevant regulations of our bureau, we will give you the same response: no additional verification will be conducted, and this evidence will not be recognized."
Yes, the Administration doesn't check what actually happens in the mission world at all. The Administration will only "adjust monitoring" unless abnormal fluctuations occur in the mission world. Otherwise, with so many members and so many worlds, and with everyone checking the operating details of the worlds every day, the Administration’s capacity would not be able to support it.
Moreover, Chong Lin was also confused. If the "surveillance footage" was checked, he would have been beaten up because of the communication footage with Duan Yunhong. The evidence Ning Fei gave him was the agreement between him and Duan Yunhong, as well as the 1/3 "deposit" of luck that he had already received.
The fortune of the members of the Administration is the "money" under the supervision of the Administration. The administration doesn’t care about how things move around during normal times, but once they want to check, they will find the exact answer.
The main system asked Chonglin again: "Do you have any other evidence to submit?"
Chong Lin racked his brains and came up with another idea: "Then I will report Ning Fei for deliberately being passive and slacking off and not cooperating with me! He didn't actively contact me when he came to the mission world, and he gave up the mission after seven days without telling me and just left. He was perfunctory in supporting the mission!"
This time the main system was even more straightforward: "In your description, it can be confirmed that Ning Fei did not take the initiative to contact us, but this behavior did not violate the relevant regulations of the Administration. Please allow me to remind you that you asked Ning Fei to go for support by name. Ning Fei's entry into the mission world means that he has responded, and the result of the mission will not be used as a criterion for judgment."
After saying this, the main system returned to the question: "Regarding the content of your report and the two contents of your report on Ning Fei, do you have any other evidence to submit?"
Chonglin was completely at his wit's end. He opened his mouth but could not utter any new words.
The main system waited for a while, and announced coldly: "Since the debt collector Chong Lin has no other evidence to submit, it is now determined that Chong Lin colluded with the 'luck bandit' Duan Yunhong to harm the debt collector Ning Fei, and the two contents of Chong Lin's report are invalid. It is also determined that Chong Lin's defamation of the debt collector Ning Fei is established. After comprehensive consideration, this bureau has decided to impose the following punishment on the debt collector Chong Lin: directly deduct 5 million luck points, and execute five non-reward punishment tasks..."
There was a long string of words to come, but Ning Fei didn't want to listen and went offline directly.
5 million points, Ning Fei’s own deposit points were not much more than that. According to Chonglin's habit of spending as much as he can, he would probably be in debt. In this case, you still have to carry out punishment tasks, which not only does not earn you any luck points, but is also very difficult. With Chong Lin's level, he could definitely torture him to death.
Speaking of which, Duan Yunhong was found to be a "luck thief" and was also charged with breach of contract, so he must have been attacked by the Administration, but I don't know what the outcome will be. Ning Fei estimated that the Administration must want to take away more than 5 million luck from Duan Yunhong. But how much "savings" does Duan Yunhong actually have? How much will be taken away by the Administration? Or can you...completely withstand the beating?
Also, once I reported it, Chonglin was forcibly brought back. That guy should have taken away the bad luck...
"Tsk, why think about these things."
Ning Fei suddenly regained his concentration and completely turned off the screen in front of him: "How much a bandit earns is none of my business."
